checking for rsync in remote server hangs, in 10.1.3 PRO

Scenario:
launch a backup from host A to host B saving VM on server C using onediff

the log file reports no more than following lines (the last one was added by me to debug paths) and I have to kill processes on <hostB>, no processes active on <hostC>

Re: checking for rsync in remote server hangs, in 10.1.3 PRO

It seems related to compHash function, but I have no time to investigate now...

Re: checking for rsync in remote server hangs, in 10.1.3 PRO

We'll fix this in next minor release.
By now you can just locate function create_errfile, around line 125, and move the following line

uniqidst="$( echo "$(date)" | openssl sha1 2>/dev/null | awk -F '=' '{print $2}' | sed -e 's/^ *//g' -e 's/ *$//g' )"

to line 16, right below

Re: checking for rsync in remote server hangs, in 10.1.3 PRO

Thanks for the quick reply, I moved the line and tried to launch the job (normally executed via cron) using --run-backup command but it give a ssh syntax error that I can't find in the source, here the partial output:

./xsibackup --run-backup=AR1ZF

Test it in the command line, you don't want to add more layers of code to test on top of your issue. We'll check that --run-backup argument, but perform a normal test.

I confirm that moving the line solves the issue, waiting feedback for the --run-backup issue

Re: checking for rsync in remote server hangs, in 10.1.3 PRO

--run-backup is a helper, XSIBackup doesn't need it to operate. The issue affects it in some cirmcumstances, like when using a --host argument. We'll fix the issue ASAP, but we don't consider it to be critical.
